Prep Workshops, Kick Off, Other Events and Wrimoverse News

NaNo starts in a little less than 2 weeks (Wheee…..) but we have more things coming up for you before then.

I see that we have several NaNoLansing people who are participating in Wrimoverse this year. Glad to see that. There will be an online prep workshop this Friday 10-19 at 7:30 pm. www.chatnano.net #wrimoverse (Feel free to come to this even if you aren’t participating in Wrimoverse.)
If you haven’t registered to use our chatnano chat room or just need a refresher, information can be found here.

And now onto Wrimoverse news:

Greetings, Wrimos!

While the decoding of the message is on its way, and Wrimoverse has been afloat for its second week already!

If you haven’t done so already, please search the ship crew lists here in order to find what ship you’ve been placed on. Ctrl + F (pc) or command + F (mac) is the keyboard shortcut for searching. You will have to look through each ship list separately.

If you haven’t signed up, you can still do so (new and returning) by completing the S.T.A.R.S. form. If you have forgotten which ship you were on last year, you will have to go through the sorting process again.

Our Captains’ Log has been updated with the newest part of our adventure, so be sure to check in to keep up to date with our antics. Additional information about the Wrimoverse can be found on the Wrimoverse Website, as well as on our local forum! If you haven’t stopped by the Cadet Lounge yet, please feel welcome to do so.

Online NaNo Prep Session:
We are hosting a pre-NaNo training session on Oct 19. Those in need of stretching, can join in and do some laps in the chatnano writing pool. (inflatable scribbling aids not included) at 7.30PM www.chatnano.net #wrimoverse
